Motivational Quotes
Art
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion --I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more --I could be martyred for my religion --Love is my religion --I could die for that.

Best Quotes about Art
Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.
Ambrose Bierce
Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.
Ovid
It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
Shaw, George Bernard
Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
Bierce, Ambrose
Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art.
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Buckingham, Duke of
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Bunuel, Luis
What is art but a way of seeing?
Berger, Thomas
For the outer sense alone perceives visible things and the eye of the heart alone seeds the invisible.
Saint-Victor, Richard of
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall.
Richter, Jean Paul
Doubt obscures the true vision of the heart.
What is art but life upon the larger scale, the higher. When, graduating up in a spiral line of still expanding and ascending gyres, it pushes toward the intense significance of all things, hungry for the infinite?
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.
Mencken, H. L.
What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?
Rosenberg, Harold
Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.
Sontag, Susan
Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.
Shaw, George Bernard
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
Gandhi, Indira
The heart that truly loves never forgets.
Proverb
In our own hearts, we mold the whole world's hereafters; and in our own hearts we fashion our own gods.
Melville, Herman
The more a man cultivates the arts the less he fornicates. A more and more apparent cleavage occurs between the spirit and the brute.
Baudelaire, Charles
I have joined my heart to thee: all that exists are thou. O Lord, beloved of my heart, thou art the home of all; where indeed is the heart in which thou dost not dwell?
Jafar
There is nothing enduring in life for a women except what she builds in a man's heart.
Anderson, Judith
The artist belongs to their work, not the work to the artist.
Novalis
Twentieth-century art may start with nothing, but it flourishes by virtue of its belief in itself, in the possibility of control over what seems essentially uncontrollable, in the coherence of the inchoate, and in its ability to create its own values.
Alvarez, A.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted. [Henry Iv]
Shakespeare, William
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Langer, Suzanne K.
Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.
Updike, John
Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met -- or never parted -- we had never been broken-hearted.
Burns, Robert
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
Bellow, Saul
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.
Lao-Tzu
Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.
Morris, William
I am an artist I am here to live out loud.
Zola, Emile
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Byron, Lord
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
Miller, Henry
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.
Matisse, Henri
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The object of art is to give life a shape. [Midsummer Nights Dream]
Shakespeare, William
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Beecher, Henry Ward
But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
Pound, Ezra
If the wolf had ever come to our back door, he'd have had to bring a picnic lunch.
Anderson, Bill
Is there not an art, a music, and a stream of words that shalt be life, the acknowledged voice of life?
Wordsworth, William
Each painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reaveals itself.
William Baziotes
Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.
Rushdie, Salman
Have thy heart in heaven and thy hands upon the earth. Ascend in piety and descend in charity. For this is the Nature of Light and the way of the children.
Vaughan, Thomas
What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von
